I have interacted with more than a handful of job postings where the invitation to create a take-home deliverable was clearly a) an attempt at labor theft or b) a manager using the process to catch new buzzwords and troll for ideas to take to their team, which is still a form of labor theft.
At this point I view the practice as a signal the position wouldn't be a good fit for either party.
- 29athrowaway 3y agoWhat if you add a license to your code deliverable, mentioning it is only to be used for interviewing purposes?
- cmckn 3y agoI mean sure, why not; but unless they want to open source your interview code, that license doesn’t really have teeth. Just another reason to decline take-homes, IMO.
